Helius Labs CEO Asks How XRP and Cardano Are ‘Still Around,’ Community Sets Him Straight

When Mert Muntaz started the conversation, he came off as someone genuinely asking a question seeking to know why XRP and Cardano still remain relevant.  

Despite the XRP and Cardano communities often being at loggerheads, some individuals like Mert Muntaz  say they are unsure what their current use cases are.

Popular crypto Sleuth, ZachXBT shared a more aggressive stance, saying proponents of the two chains act like a cult in his response to Mert’s post.

Mert went on to state why top chains like Solana (SOL), Ethereum (ETH), Cosmos (ATOM), Avalanche (AVAX), Sui, Aptos (APT), Fantom (FTM) have good ecosystem reputation. He specifically singled out Solana and Ethereum because, according to him, both have real tech and actual startups building on them.

This sentiment likely stems from the consideration that Helius, an “RPC Nodes, APIs, Webhooks, and Developer Tooling” protocol he co-founded, sits on the Solana protocol. 

The claims of no use case saw instant rebuttal from XRP proponents who labeled the payment capabilities of Ripple’s RippleNet which has independence from the XRP Ledger (XRPL).
